 The Toledo Blade is figuring up the drink bill of the nation for 1883, includ- ing loss of labor, cost of drinks, medi- cal attendance, loss to employers, cost of paupers and prisoners, police court expenses, value of grain destroyed, etc., estimates $1, 1868, 173, ,416. In return the government received that year, in reve- nue therefrom, but $8S, 76S, 997, adding municipal, county and state revenue at the same amount, makes the total receipts from the traffic $167, ,537, ,904. Nearly two billions of dollars wasted to obtain that amount of revenue, poor sample of political practical economy.

He then showed from the railroad commissioners report that but about 20 per cent. of the stock of Connecticut railroads was owned by the people of this state, and that this bill would give to the Vanderbilts, the Geulds, the Standard Oil company, and kindred monopolies 80 per cent of this vast amount, (s4, 1S1, ,O2O) all to be ilched from the farming, mechanical and labor interests of this state, who pay the bulk of the taxes. The bill passed the senate with two or three amendments, and will again come up in the house this week, where i. will undoubtedlyprovoke very lively discussion. The state has 1,273 grade crossings, on which there were 63 accidents last year, IA persons being killed.
 The act concerning the redemption of state bonds calling for the taking up of $1, ,O3O, 900 of bonds has been so amended as to make the payment of s3O, 900 instead of s33O, GOO immediately after May 1, 1887, and emitting the payment of S2OO, 900 on or before Jan. 1, 1888, and also substituting S1, ,OOO, 900 for $500, 900 as the quantity of B per cant. bonds to be issued, and making new bonds redeemable immediately. The bill as amended was passed.
 A resolution was reported to the house by the conference committee fix ing May II, as the date for final adjourn ment.
 The act prohibiting the sale of intox- icating liquors within 1000 feet of agricultural fair grounds passed the house.
 The bill regarding the exemption of honorably discharged veterans of the WAT from taxation to the amount of S1, 900 was amended by requiring that the beneficiary reside in the town where the property lies, and in this manner was passed.
 A remonstrance signed by the major ity of the senators and representatives of Litchfeld county against the removal of the county seat was presented by Mir Skelly of Woodbury on Tuesday.
 Litchfeld was unfortunate in her struggle for the retention of her honors, on account of the inability of her advo- cates to be present at the contest. Sen ator Lucas, and General Vessels, one of her representatives, are both ill at their homes.
 On Wednesday the house took up the bill making Winsted and New Milford the shire towns of Litchfield county, it being recommended by SIX of the con- mittee. Those opposed to the bill made much of the argument against two county seats because of the increased expense of sustaining two court houses and two jails; and it was stated that by the extension of the Shepaug railroad Litchfield would soon be as accessible as the rival towns. The gentlemen speaking in favor of the bill showed very lucidly the advantages of removal of the county seat to the towns mentioned and humorous experiences of going to Litchfield in stage were related. It was argued that the people of the cour- ty who have court business desire the change.

PRICE 10 CENTS

r. B. Galusha, Samuel Word, H. c. DAVIS
and James B. Hubbell. As Mr.. Davis
was chosen president of the company it
is apparent that the Northern Pacific
company is interested in the project, and
speedy action in the construction of the
road to the Rocky Fork coal fields can
be looked for. A special to the Inde-
pendent says it was decided to build the
road as soon as possible, and Dennis
Ryan of st. Paul was awarded the con-
tract in terms that it shall be completed
by January 1st Or sooner. John Ross, a
we'll known contractor, is looking over
the route and will probably take sub
contract from Ryan. Those interested in
the deal protest that the Northern Pacific
is not connected with it, but from the
fact that it IS understood that the Trans
continental has made harmonious ar
rangements with the Rocky Fork road,
and now that H. G. Davis is president of
the latter, it is regarded as pretty certain
that the Northern Pacific is interested in
the arrangement.

Railroad Notes.

The Northern Pacific announces rate
Of $40 per 100 pounds on fruit and veg
etables in mixed Car loads from Califor-
nian and Oregon terminals to Montana
common points.
The figures comprised in the annual re-
port of the Northern Pacific railroad show
the gross earnings for the year ending
June 80, 1887, were $12,789,448, an in
crease of $1,05S,92l over the previous
year.
Officials of the traffic department of the
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and Ore
gon Railway g. Navigation company had
"a meeting at Denver last Saturday ut
which the question of rates was discussed,
and it was decided that Pacific coast bust
ness should remain the same. Local rates
for Oregon, Montana and Utah, were es-
tablished, but the sheet card was not made
public.
The authorities of the Manitoba rail
way have decided to build a railway
bridge across the river to tic town Of
Great Falls, and the passenger and freight
warehouses are also to be located on the
Great Falls side of the river. Previous
plans were to place the buildings on the
opposite side Of the river and not to run
the road into the town at all, but to con.
meet the railway with the town by
wagon bridge. A branch road to Sand
Coulee this autumn is also now contem-
plated.

Denver, Col, Aug. 12-Wild rumors
reached here this afternoon that the White
river Utes had again taken to the war
path and were slaughtcring settlers above
Meeker The last grand jury indicted
two of Colorow's bucks for horse stealing.
Three or four days since Sheriff Kendall,
with small posse of men, started for the
White river country to arrest the two
bucks who, with number Of band Of
renegade Indians, we're camped in the vi
cinity of Meeker, close to the scene of
the massacre in 1879. This morning a
courier from there arrived in the town
with requisition from the mayor of
Meeker, on the mayor of Glenwood
Springs. for arms and ammunition. Sew
eral men with about forty Wlnchesters
started at once. The courier reports that
the sheriff and posse went to the Indian
camp and demanded the two bucks Of
Chief Colorow. The old renegade refus-
ed to surrender them to the sheriff, or al
low them to be arrested, swearing by his
forefathers that tine heap big Injun.
Own whole country, damn sheriff, damn
law, damn white man. No arrest Injun."
They began firing on the sheriff's men
and the fire was returned killing one In
dian. The Indians retired to the brush
and kept up the firing, shooting at every
one IN sight. They are now gathering
their whole band together, which consists
of fifty or sixty warriors. They have sent
to the agency for more of these renegades,
who will join them if they are not prevent
ed. Trouble of serious nature is feared,
as Colorow is threatening destruction and
to go on the warpath. Kendall is now
camped In the vicinity, awaiting reinforce
ment.

Successful Highwaymen.

| From the Independent we learn the
particulars of successful highway rob-
berry on the road between Thompson
Falls and Murray last Sunday. c. w.
O'Neil, D. Holman and John Hackett
left Thompson Falls between 8 and 8
o'clock for Murray, the two former hav-
ing each two thousand dollars and the
latter five hundred. When two miles
from town O'Neil and Hacket were held
up by highwaymen and robbed. Holz-
man was few feet ahead Of the others
and Fput spurs to his horse and escaped
with his money. Holman gave the
alarm at McCormick's, three miles from
town. Frank Keeler started back to the
rescue, but arrived too late. Hackett re-
turned here and offered reward of six
hundred dollars for the capture of the
robbers, and posse from here and Muir
ray started out, but up to this time no
clue has been discovered. O'Neil pro-
cecdcd to the mountain house without
hat, coat or vest. The three were
prominent men of Murray, O'Neil being
lawyer, Holman wholesale liquor
dealer, and Hackett one of the men who
bonded the Hunter mines. For boldness
the deed exceeds anything ever perpetra
ted in this part of Montana. j. E. Cat
let, freighter was robbed of $3.50 about
week ago while on his return here from
Murray. At the time no credence was
given to tie story, but the description
given by him Of the man who robbed him
agrees with the description of the man
who held up O'Neil and Hackett.

Northern Pacific Indemnity Lands.

Washington special: The secretary of
the interior is preparing decision rclat-
ing to indemnity Withdrawals of the
Northern Pacific railroad company. He
reviews at some length the company's
construction of the law. He will hold
that congress recognized the political di-
visions of the states and territories, when
it gave the company ten alternate odd
numbered sections OF land on each side
of the line of the road, when 1t passes
through a state, and twenty mile sec
ton when it passes through a territory.
Lien land is but a substitute of granted
land, and the same boundary lines ap-
piled to one as to the other. The same
distinction is presented In providing an
indemnity belt, less being allowed in
states than in territories The secretary
will say that, in his opinion, and accord
ing to the views herein expressed, indem-
nifty claims of the company must he
greatly reduced, and it will not require
their vacation of all the odd numbered
sections within the indemnity limits, but
that there would be lands to restore to
the public domain. The secretary will
also hold that this company is entitled to
one indemnity belt of ten miles in width,
and that the grant Of July 30th, 1870,
repealed and modified that of the first, so
far as they conf1icted, and that both acts
relate to the same indemnity belts. These
are the only points not covered by the
decision of yesterday in the Atlantic &
Pacific Case
